#x=332/63#

#x approx 5.2698#

#2/9(3x-8)-5/3(x-3)=3/4(x-8)#

#2/9(3x-8)-color(blue)(15/9)(x-3)=3/4(x-8)#

#2(3x-8)-15(x-3)=27/4(x-8)#

Distribute all terms (get rid of parentheses):
#color(green)(6x)-16-color(green)(15x)+45=color(green)(27/4x)-54#

Combine like terms
#-9x-27/4x+29=-54#

#-63/4x=-83#

#x=(-83)(-4/63)#

#x=332/63#

#x approx 5.2698#
